2017 Meetings:

OCTOBER – ‘Volunteering & Beyond’ Mr Stuart Ferguson

Many thanks to Mr Ferguson who gave the talk at our recent meeting on 23.10.’17 (Volunteering & Beyond: A Roadmap for Scottish engagement in Global Health). His key messages were:
1. International professional volunteering by NHS workers is common but inconsistently supported by the health service
2. Global health activity by our workers brings clear personal, professional and system benefits
3. The Scottish Government has made a clear commitment to global citizenship in all government activities
4. Global citizenship in the health service should result in a clearer support of responsible international volunteering which is mutually beneficial to the Scottish NHS and partner systems overseas.

“We are very grateful to Dr Adrian Treloar for his excellent talk entitled ‘Dementia: Giving Hope on a difficult journey’ on Saturday 29th April 2017. Dr Treloar discussed both spiritual and practical advice for healthcare staff and carers on caring for people with dementia. Thank you Dr Treloar!!”
